Paul J Corrigan

Brief info

Paul J Corrigan is a familiar face to Scottish audiences across stage and screen. He is best known for his long-running role as Stevie Burns in the BBC’s River City, and as Adam in the hit comedy Gary: Tank Commander. His television credits also include Gaz in Still Game, Rab C. Nesbitt, Only an Excuse? and Legit.

His theatre work includes the National Theatre of Scotland’s multi award-winning Black Watch, alongside Cuttin’ a Rug, No Mean City, James and the Giant Peach (Citizens Theatre), The Sailmaker (Ayr Gaiety), and The Wolves in the Walls (NTS/New Victory, Broadway), as well as Gobbo and Man Cub (NTS), and numerous productions at Oran Mor and theatres across the UK.

Paul is also a hugely popular panto performer and a regular favourite with audiences at His Majesty’s Theatre, Aberdeen for Crossroads Pantomimes.

“I am delighted to be joining The Steamie for the 2026 tour. Growing up, I always knew about The Steamie as my Gran would talk about it, and over the years I heard so many other people speak about it too. I remember watching the TV version a number of times and really enjoying the old-school patter, proper patter.

It’s a huge privilege to be working with Tony Roper for his final outing. I was lucky enough to work with him years ago on Rab C. Nesbitt, where my character got to stick the heed on Jamsey Cotter and steal his chips. Thankfully, he laughed about that in my audition for The Steamie, which made for a good icebreaker!

I can’t wait to get started and be part of such a beloved Scottish classic.”
